Introduction
Anaconda is a completely free Python distribution (including for commercial use and redistribution). It includes over 195 of the most popular Python packages for science, math, engineering, data analysis.
Usage
The usage is: module load anaconda/4.00py2.7 OR: module load anaconda/4.00py3.5 Manual Usage: You will need to activate the environment. For example, to activate biopython source activate biopython discarding /sw/anaconda/2.0.1/bin from PATH prepending /sw/anaconda/2.0.1/envs/biopython/bin to PATH To deactivate this environment, use: source deactivate Module Usage: ============= For example,You can use this to load biopython using python 2.7 version (anaconda) : module load anaconda/py27biopython1.66 For python 3.5 (anaconda env), use this: module load anaconda/py35biopython1.66 Anaconda environment need not be loaded separately. However, it can be loaded as follows if needed for other reasons: module load anaconda/4.00py2.7 module load anaconda/4.00py3.5
Useful Commands
To get a list of environment in anaconda: conda info -e To create an environment: conda create -n biopython biopython De-Activate an environment source deactivate Deleting an environment conda remove -n biopython
conda create -h
usage: conda create [-h] [--yes] [--dry-run] [-f] [--file FILE] [--unknown]
[--no-deps] [-m] [--use-index-cache] [--use-local]
[--no-pin] [-c CHANNEL] [--override-channels]
[-n NAME | -p PATH] [-q] [--alt-hint] [--clone ENV]
[--no-default-packages]
[package_spec [package_spec ...]]
Create a new conda environment from a list of specified packages. To use the created environment, use 'source activate envname' look in that directory first. This command requires either the -n NAME or -p PREFIX option.
positional arguments:
package_spec package versions to install into conda environment
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--yes do not ask for confirmation
--dry-run only display what would have been done
-f, --force force install (even when package already installed),
implies --no-deps
--file FILE read package versions from FILE
--unknown use index metadata from the local package cache (which
are from unknown channels)
--no-deps do not install dependencies
-m, --mkdir create prefix directory if necessary
--use-index-cache use cache of channel index files
--use-local use locally built packages
--no-pin don't use pinned packages
-c CHANNEL, --channel CHANNEL
additional channel to search for packages. These are
URLs searched in the order they are given (including
file:// for local directories). Then, the defaults or
channels from .condarc are searched (unless
--override-channels is given). You can use 'defaults'
to get the default packages for conda, and 'system' to
get the system packages, which also takes .condarc
into account. You can also use any name and the
.condarc channel_alias value will be prepended. The
default channel_alias is http://conda.binstar.org/
--override-channels Do not search default or .condarc channels. Requires
--channel.
-n NAME, --name NAME name of environment (in /sw/anaconda/2.0.1/envs)
-p PATH, --prefix PATH
full path to environment prefix (default:
/sw/anaconda/2.0.1)
-q, --quiet do not display progress bar
--alt-hint Use an alternate algorithm to generate an
unsatisfiable hint
--clone ENV path to (or name of) existing local environment
--no-default-packages
ignore create_default_packages in condarc file
examples:
conda create -n myenv sqlite

Python 2.7.7 :: Continuum Analytics, Inc. creating default environment... installation finished. Do you wish the installer to prepend the Anaconda install location to PATH in your /root/.bashrc ? [yes|no] [no] >>> No Thank you for installing Anaconda!
The binaries are in /sw/anaconda/2.0.1/bin. You can use the module file to load the environment (recommended):
module load anaconda/2.0.1
OR prepend (not advised) to your ~/.bashrc file:
PATH=/sw/anaconda/2.0.1/bin:$PATH
Extra Notes
Dry Run
To see what packages will be downloaded and/or used in an environment before creating it, you can use the --dry-run option.
conda create --dry-run -n foo2 python
e.g.:
conda create --dry-run -n biopython biopython
